Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 22 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“If the jury finds and believes from the evidence that the deceased Callie Mae Ball communicated a threat of violence immediately prior to her death to the defendant Lem Hemphill, Jr., you may consider such threat as explaining the conduct and apprehensions, if any, of the defendant. You may also consider such threat, if any, communicated to the defendant for the purpose of determining who was the aggressor at the time and place of the shooting.”
